BXBX NOVEL Chapter 194: 138: This Boss Has a 3rd Stage?_2
Its reaction speed, almost transcended time itself.
The metal on the mecha’s surface instantaneously completed its transformation.
In the moment the sharpshooter mecha fired its energy blast.
Its leg exhaust pipes ejected steam.
As if stepping on air, with its massive body exceeding twenty-three meters, it displayed an unbelievable agility, narrowly avoiding the sharpshooter mecha’s energy attack.
During this process, the mechanical tentacles that bound the boulder mecha lifted ever so slightly.
Perfectly positioning the boulder mecha in the path of the energy blast.
Mecha attacks don’t differentiate between friend and foe.
The boulder mecha, struck by the energy blast, had its head directly blown off, and its Armor Value plummeted drastically.
Along with the previous multiple attacks, the Armor Value of the boulder mecha reached zero, shattering on the spot.
The mecha pilot amidst the rubble tried to touch the Abyss Rune, attempting to switch mechas.
However, the mechanical tentacles showed no mercy as they contracted.
A mass of flesh exploded in the air.
“Beautiful!”
The divine prodigy Ying Tian couldn’t help but exclaim.
This series of maneuvers was just too fluid; he felt an extreme smoothness just by watching, fully immersed in it.
On the other hand, another Fire Plunderer mecha pilot was full of terror.
“Divine Prodigy, sir?”
What did this mean?
Ying Tian had cooperated with the enemy, successfully killed their own teammate, and secured the first kill?
And even shouted ‘beautiful’?
“Cough, I couldn’t help it.”
Ying Tian composed himself and observed the steam mecha seriously.
He had finally seen the steam mecha unleash the power of time:
The steam mecha’s normal attribute (Mecha Soul Fusion), was about 200,000 force agility, 270,000 defense.
When it activated its burst mode (Full Power Output Module), it was about 690,000 strength, 370,000 agility, 190,000 defense.
When attacked by Ying Tian, it used the power of time to instantly switch modes.
It changed to an extreme speed form of 370,000 strength, 690,000 agility, 190,000 defense.
And that’s not all—
With the power of time assisting it.
The steam mecha, having 690,000 agility, demonstrated a speed that could match that of 1,000,000 agility!
That’s how it was able to evade Ying Tian’s attack in the blink of an eye!
“The previous defensive mecha had one million defense…”
“This Time Mecha has one million speed…”
“Truly worthy of being a candidate for the hope of an ancient civilization, impressive indeed!”
Ying Tian’s heart raced.
He was able to discern that this steam mecha had activated some sort of self-destructive burst mode.
The energy reaction of the mecha was plummeting at an alarming rate.
At this rate, it would self-destruct in a minute.
The question was, how were they to survive these next few seconds?
The continuous speed akin to a million agility…
For mechas of this stage, it was just too much!
“He’s much faster than me, I can’t help you.”
“You’ll have to figure out how to last fifty seconds on your own.”
“…”
The other remaining Fire Plunderer mecha pilot was dumbfounded.
I’m your loyal servant, and you’re telling me to fend for myself?
The steam mecha in High-Speed Mode was extremely fast and vastly outstripped Ying Tian’s Divine Soul Mecha.
But it still wasn’t so fast that it couldn’t be reacted to.
So, when the steam mecha, assisted by ion jet thrusters, lunged at the Divine Soul Mecha, its four mechanical tentacles swung out like blades.
Ying Tian decisively performed a Spatial Leap, dodging the steam mecha’s attack.
Both mechas appeared together on the other side of the city—
While his Spatial Leap ability couldn’t carry things over a certain mass, as long as the Divine Soul Mecha was energized, it could just manage to do so.
Seeing this, the steam mecha decisively abandoned him.
And turned its attention to the easier target, the metallic mecha.
The moment it moved, it almost turned into a golden-red streak of lightning, dashing towards the metallic mecha.
“…Damn!”
This Fire Plunderer mecha pilot cursed in his heart, but he was helpless.
Surviving a minute against the steam mecha took a minute.
Retreating from the abyss also took a minute!
Either way, it was a minute!
Just persevere!
He quickly touched the Abyss Rune, and before the steam mecha could reach him, he summoned two more metallic mechas that, combined with his own, merged into a gigantic metallic mecha over a hundred meters tall.
He was a 2nd Rank mecha pilot with three Supercharged Mechas.
Combined with his own talent, merging the three Supercharged Mechas would sacrifice some speed but temporarily boost attributes like strength and defense to about 700,000—
And with some skills, he could even unleash an attack close to one million in attribute strength.
After all, since they were able to receive the distress signal, it meant their strength wasn’t weak by any stretch.
The Fire Plunderer mecha pilot before had been killed swiftly because of sheer bad luck, piloting a mecha that was perfectly countered.
Unable to breach one million defense, unable to withstand the overwhelming speed, and with no time to switch mechas.
That’s why he was forcibly slain.
Now, the two remaining Fire Plunderer mecha pilots changed their strategy.
From confronting and attacking, they shifted to holding out and delaying.
The situation immediately changed.
While the metallic mecha couldn’t keep up with the steam mecha’s speed at all, and all its attacks, including missiles, missed completely.
Being completely at a disadvantage, just like the previous primeval mecha, it could only take a beating passively.
But when it activated its life-saving module, increasing the mecha’s strength,
Even if the steam mecha temporarily switched its output mode to violent output, it had a hard time breaking through quickly.
It could only continue to whittle down the metallic mecha’s Armor Value, shattering its armor components.
During this process, Ying Tian kept looking for opportunities to teleport over, disrupting the steam mecha’s attack rhythm.
